TkiE SECEDERS OF '61.
Only Two Now Left of the Southern
Senators Who Then Went Out.

The death recently of Robert NJ. T.
Hunter, of Virginia, leaves only two
men surviving who seeded" from the
United States Senate at the beginning
of the war. They are Jefferson Davis,
of Mississippi. and T. L. Clingman, Of
North Carolina. Mr.. Hunter died in
extreme poverty, a disappointed and
neglected old man, who felt that be had
deserved better of his native State and
of the first Democratic administration
since the war. He was the youngest
Speaker ever chosen by the House Of
Representatives for fifteen years he
was a Senator of the United States and
served for twelve years as Chairman of
the Committee on Finance, when such
men as Seward, Fessenden, Sumner.
James A. Bayard. TOombs, Benjamin,
Douglas and Bigler were members of it.
Hunter sat for a short period in Mr..
Davis Cabinet Secretary of State, but
was soon transferred to the Confederate
OCtdbC, WuCiO AO W 40 O oONOlO OAAGiO VI
the Davis administration. After the
reconstruction of Virginia he and his
friends expected that be would be re-
turned to the Senate. and in 1874 he was
a candidate for that Office, but was de-
feated by DR.. Withers, who had been a
Confederate Colonel and Is man of
small abilities. This was severe blow
to the statesman who had been Doug
las leading competitor for the Presiden-
tial nomination in the Charleston con.
vention of 1860.
After Cleveland had been elected
President, an effort was made to pro-
vide for Mr. Hunter, who was broken In
spirit as we'll as in fortune. but again
his old rival, DR.. Withers. stepped in
and carried off the prize-the Hong
Kong Consulate, with salary of $4,000
while John Goode, a fifth-rate country
lawyer and politician, was rewarded
with the Solicitor-G r-Generalship, and
salary of $1,000 year. Mr.. Hunters
pecuniary condition was so desperate,
however, that he was compelled to ac+
cept small place in the customs serv-
ice. which paid him about 5000 per
annum.-FrOm the Sunny South.

I do not think there was funnier sight
than that where the Princess of Wales cana
forward with the sweep Of a schoolgirl and
climbed into the Deadwood coach without
any assistance. Then the king of Saxony
and the king of Greece climbed In after her.
The crown prince of Sweden was on the boz
and Prince George of Wales, dashing young
naval officer, was upon the back part Of the
coach. Prince Albert Victor Of Wales, the
heir apparent to the English throne after the
Prince Of Wales, sat inside the coach and
puffed cigarettes alternately in his mothers
face and in that Of the king Of Den
mark. Indeed, smokers who have been
restricted for th>ir lack of manners in enjoy
ing the weed in the presence of ladies would
have plenty Of examples to justify their
course among the royal members of this
group. All of the men smoked their cigars or
cigarettes The smoke was pulled straight
into the faces Of the ladies Of the group WITH
out apology from the smokers or protest upon
their part With the exception Of the Prince
and Princess Of Wales, who are always grace
full and easy, think that this group of royal
personages made up the most stiff and awk-
ward appearing group Of people that have
ever seen in public together.-London Letter.

COL E. G. HENDERSON is now acting
rs Internal Revenue Commissioner, and
in answer to the query why the Repub-
lican clerks were not removed said his
superior, Secretary Lamar, entertained
the belief that they were so essential to
the service that it would not do to rer
place them by Democrats. Said Hem
derson: "The fact that the Republican
incumbents are good clerks or good Off
cials is not sufficient reason, in my mind
for their retention. 1 would turR them
all out, and thiak the President would
turn them all out"

The fine wheat crops of Great Brit
ain. Germany, and Hungary, France
and the Danubian States, with fair
yield in Russia and India, will probably
prevent much rise In the wheat market
for year to come, but the case is very
different regarding corn. The drouth
has insured a short crop in this country,
and the same cause has made 1t impossi-
BILE that the yield should be heavy in
the Danube Valley. While the market
may not advance materially, the indica'
tions are certainly very favorably for a
sharp demand for all that producers
have to sell before the crop of 1888

the first pail to his post, now had to hire q
boy to wheel his stock in barrow. He was
very popular with the fair sex, who pitied his
misfortune and enjoyed his -civility, which
was so excessive as to be quite grotesque

ALL at once the duty of opening the
books and turning out the rsscals seems
to have fallen into inocuous desuetude
at Washington. For all that. citizens
of repute continue day after day to as
sert, and produce figures from official
reports to prove, that from 100000
to 100000 of a single District fund
have been diverted from their lawful
uses and misapplied. For sole response
to this showing, the President refuses u
personal audience to a committee of re'
spected citizens appointed to talk with
him on the subject; and the Commits
sioners fortify themselves by giving
orders designed to prevent the press
from obtaining information. Surely, as
the Democratic platform expresses it,
reform is needed. Let the books be
opened. Let rascals be turned out.
